From 1 July 2024, non-government schools with an income per student of more than $15,000 will be subject to payroll tax, following changes to legislation announced by the Minister for Education on Thursday 29 June 2023.
Under the changes, some non-government schools will be exempt from payroll tax. A list of these schools can be found on this page.
The $15,000 threshold will be in place until at least 1 January 2029, when it will be reviewed ahead of the 2029 school year.
All non-government schools will be assessed once a year against the threshold; if a school’s total income per student exceeds the threshold at that time, the school will become subject to payroll tax. If a school’s total income per student falls below the threshold at that time, the school will no longer be subject to payroll tax.
New non-government schools opening between now and 2029 will also be assessed against the threshold.
The department is liable for payroll tax for all government schools staff salary expenses and individual schools are charged a payroll tax expense annually.
How income per student is calculated
To determine income per student, the department uses the Commonwealth Department of Education’s Financial Questionnaire (FQ). The questionnaire requires schools to provide the following information:
- Fees and Charges (excluding Overseas Students)- Tuition (System & Diocese funding included)
- Income from Excursion State/Territory Government trips - Tuition (System & Diocese funding included)
- Other Receipts from Students - Tuition (System & Diocese funding included)
- Fee/levies Allocated for Capital Purposes - Tuition (System & Diocese funding included)
The assessment of income takes into account fees, charges, compulsory levies and other income, as well as fee reductions for scholarships and other financial relief to families in financial difficulty.
Income relating to overseas students has been excluded on the basis that these students do not receive funding from either the Commonwealth or through the state’s Financial Assistance Model (FAM).
Additionally, schools that operate kindergartens or day care centres are required to separate out fees from these services, therefore fee income from these centres is not assessed. The fee income in relation to school students only was used for assessment purposes.
The basis of the determination used FQ data submitted at each of the specified categories for the 2021 reporting period and the 2021 funded enrolments were used to derive the per capita.
The following sets out the calculation:
- Sum of income recorded for each of the categories listed above for the 2021 reporting divided by funded enrolments.
Example:
- Total FQ categories used for determination = $5,500,000 / 500 enrolments (based on 2021 funded enrolments) = $11,000 income per student.
Non-government schools exempt from payroll tax
Under the changes, some non-government schools will be exempt from payroll tax i.e., schools with an income per student of less than $15,000.
The departmental assessment is undertaken as per section 82 of the State Taxation Acts Amendment Act 2023 which came into operation on 1 July 2024, the Act amended clause 14(3) of Schedule 2 to the Payroll Tax Act 2007.
